East Village

Simply by walking down the streets, one can feel the difference in the vibe of the East Village versus the Upper East Side, for example. Vintage dresses, old lace-up boots, and battered brown purses accent its young inhabitants.

The building is in immaculate condition and situated neatly across the street from coffee hotspot Abraco, artisan ice cream Van Leeuwen and steps from East Village mainstays like Frank, Mermaid Inn and Veselka.
